A list of Highway of Tears victims


Please note:

The highway noted below has become well known for girls and women alike missing or being found murdered. 

The killers are still at large and because of this innocent women are still victims of what is happening there. 

Living The Native Life is viewed around the world and we are asking anyone who might have information about the disappearance of any person whether listed here or not to contact their local police.


The rash of disappearances must stop and those accountable must be held accountable. 

To learn more about this issue, type in your search engine... "highway of tears".
